Why you'll love this trip
  • Enjoy two evenings at your historical Feature Stay hotel in the heart of Tbilisi, Georgia’s capital. Once owned by a noble family, it has played host to aristocrats, famous writers and public figures.
  • Visit the Tserovani Refugee Settlement in Georgia during an Exclusive Experience, where you’ll visit a jewellery making workshop aimed at providing employment to displaced women within the camp. Create a piece for yourself and learn about the issues surrounding long-term displacement.
  • Sample this region’s diverse cuisine, from a home cooked meal with a local family to a lunch of regional specialties in a refugee settlement in Georgia. Then, try organic qvevri wine made according to the world’s oldest winemaking tradition.
  • Discover ancient wonders during visits to the open-air archaeological museum of Qobustan in Azerbaijan, the magnificent cave town of Vardzia in Georgia and the Haghpat in Armenia.
  • Drive through the mighty snow-cowered Caucasus mountains, which provide diverse landscapes from lunar semideserts to forests and countryside. With expert guides and an exciting 4WD excursion, you’ll soak up the unique scenery in the best way.

Is this trip right for you?
  • Although the climate in all three countries is relatively mild, the temperatures in high-altitude mountain regions (over 2000 m) can be much lower.
  • This itinerary is densely packed, so you'll be busy squeezing in as many sights and activities as you can. Take the downtime when you can for relaxing or independent exploration.
  • On some days, there is a lot of walking between sites and around towns and cities, so make sure you bring comfortable walking shoes with good support.
  • There are some long travel days on this adventure. This is a great opportunity to get to know your fellow travellers and enjoy the passing scenery. Some activities, including the trip to the high Caucasus around Kazbegi, are weather and road condition dependent. Your leader will keep you up to date on any necessary itinerary changes due to local conditions.

This was a great tour with fabulous leader. She created the atmosphere where we all got along. Nothing was too much trouble for her. Amazing countries and a bit off the tourist track, which I loved. Would highly recommend this trip for those who like to get off the beaten track.

Absolutely brilliant trip. The three countries visited were all unique and interesting in their own ways and the ever changing landscape on the route never failed to surprise me. Highlights were visiting the caucus mountains at Stepantsminda and hiking back down after visiting the church, also having our lunch cooked by nuns after visiting the Khertvisi fortress.
